He was enjoying a huge donut 

Back at Trinity, we spied a squirrel 

This one we saw advertised everywhere--it was hard to miss--guys walking around with only boxers on! 

Of course the parade degenerated in advertisments for the Fringe Festival, like this one, for Goblin Market (that would have been intersting to see) 

They were singing "I feel pretty" I couldn't resist 

This music was great--deep, heavy drums 

And some were pretty crazy 

Most of the costumes were really pretty 

But I enjoyed watching and listening 

Had no idea who most of them were 

Lots of different groups marching.  

Scottish music! woot! 

the Parade!

The West Defences 

Castle wall 

The Lang Stairs, the original main access to the top of the castle 

Argyle Tower--build in 1887 

Saint Margaret's Chapel--from the 12th century 

Mons Meg, I believe the name was 

There were many levels to the castle 

Never figured out what the columns were from, either

This was cute and a little sad . . .
